​​Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God”. Hebrews 12:2 (AMPCC)
Roadblocks in our lives can appear out of nowhere and we stop, frozen and stuck, wondering how to go on. The road becomes burdensome, the way unclear.  In the same way, there can be hurdles passed down to us through generational brokenness and sin, and no matter how hard to we try to avoid them, or get over them, we remain stuck—still!
 
However, Jesus always sees the way clear; He knows exactly where you have been, why and how, and the cost to your very heart and soul.  He has walked those difficult roads Himself, He knows the pitfalls and the pain, and what it takes to make it, when that seems impossible to do. He has walked with you in all your own dry and dusty days, and is walking with you in this day, in just the same way.
 
He knows where are going, where you were always meant to be,  and how to get you there! Jesus has walked the most difficult journey Himself, eyes on His Father, heart connected to heaven, all the way to the Cross. Because of that, He can lead and guide us into the fullness of God's promises and His divine purpose for your life too!

Other voices may try to throw you off track, pull you this way or that—doubt, unbelief, or fear can be a part of those voices, and they are loud. Circumstances and situations that pull you down and try to knock you out  Lean in though, dear heart. Stay close to Your Beloved and put your hand in His. He has you now and He has all things concerning you. He has placed your feet on the path of peace. He will map out, and walk with you, on the road ahead. 

Don’t worry, precious one, for He Who began this good work in you (and it is most gloriously good!) will finish everything He has started. A feast of favour and bliss will be yours, and oh, how wonderfully perfect it will be!
 
Way the way, with the One Who is the Way.  He will see you through.

Prayer:

Jesus, You alone know how hard I have tried to do things on my own, to earn my keep, to get it right. You alone know how many times I have failed.

I turn afresh to You today, precious Lord, and even with shaky knees at times, I relinquish control of all I was trying to control, and all that was trying to control me, and I hand the reigns over to You.

You know the Way. You are the Way. And because Your promises are unshakable and true, I place my trust, and my hope, in You.

Lead me and guide me, Prince of Peace, into the perfect plans the Father has for me—with no stone unturned! Just as You modeled.  Just as You show us how to do.

In Your Holy and Righteous Name, I pray.
